STIPULATION

Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, Assistant United States Attorney Angela Scott, and defendant ALEJANDRO LEMUS, by and through defendant's counsel of record, Victor Chavez, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. On April 26, 2018, defendant was indicted for crimes related to the distribution of methamphetamine. Doc. 30.

2. On October 21, 2019, defendant pleaded guilty to Count One of the indictment — conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and distribute methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A). Doc. 64.

3. On January 22, 2019, defendant's Pretrial Services Officer informed the government that he has abided by the terms and conditions of his pretrial release and has performed well.

4. By this stipulation, defendant now moves to withdraw the guilty plea he entered on October 21, 2019. The parties anticipate that defendant will enter a plea to an information that the government will file today.

5. In the interest of justice, and in light of potentially exculpatory information that the government obtained after the entry of defendant's guilty plea, the government supports defendant's request.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
